More linux lies

[suityou01]

You need to be just a little bit more precise old chap...

And you need to read the OP more thoroughly. You told me to install the wrong package, from the fedora repository which I already told you doesn't have USB support compiled in.

To be fair, the target OS really doesn't matter here. All the salient points were made in the OP.

I am really starting to absolutely despise Linux land.

Latest problem is I need to compile a program called virt-viewer. The reason is that the cretins that wrote it decided to leave USB support out of the main build. So if you want to use this software, with USB support you have to build a full develpment OS and recompile from source.

So I have now Fedora with MingW installed, got the source from github.

Then I have to configure the install with my options. Just keep it basic for now.

Sorry but the OP doesn't mention Win 7 anywhere. BTW, I just looked on my RH systems (6 + 7) which are compatible with Fedora and:

The virt-viewer utility has been modified to enable support for USB redirection introduced in the latest version of the spice-gtk packages. Users are now able to attach local USB devices to remote virtual machines using the SPICE protocol.

Right so you can deduce from the OP, and your findings that it's not for linux then

Why do you think he works in Germany.....

They merely employ him for the entertainment....

I knew it was a mistake coming back. I asked a genuine question, for a genuine problem. But oh no, let's all have a pile on.

Ok, fine. Have a pile on. Knock yourselves out.

I'm about ******* done with this board now.

Hope you ******* proud of yourself you utter *****

[darmstadt]

Don't worry, I'm going to as a techie question soon and then everyone can take the piss out of me Hope you fixed your problem in the end or at least found an alternative solution (spice?)

This is why I avoid Linux.

None of this on AIX/Solaris/HP-UX
